Skill Order
When you star up Henry, you also unlock a new skill. This helps you fine-tune in what order you want to upgrade the skills of your commander as not all skills are equally good and worth maxing or worth maxing first (in general) – this helps to invest your sculptures more reasonably to get the biggest bang for your buck.
All of Henry’s skills are powerful and point directly towards his role in the game – breaking the meta setups defending and be the rally captain. For that reason there’s also no need to discuss how to star him up or use him wihtout Expertise, as the only reason to build him is to use him as the rally captain and you need to Expertise and max him to do that.
Best Troops
In order to get not only his skill benefits but also much of the talent build, you really need to run Henry with a full Archers march.

Best Equipment
In terms of equipment, here’s what I recommend to use as the route for Henry:
As an Archery commander you should start equipping her with equipment like Revival set items, Golden Age and Flame Threads as basic setup before starting to equip stronger legendary equipment on him, but as his regular role is rally captain, you need to pick the strongest infantry-guided gear available for him


Best Builds For Henry
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Henry that make sense when running as the primary commander in any march in Rise of Kingdoms. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.
This is the rally build that you should use with Henry. Rejuvenate and Loose Formation for more rage and reduced skill damage taken and then fill up the Archer Tree for some insane buffs on your archers. Mind again, use only full archer marches with Henry to get the full bonus applied.
Conclusion
I hope this guide for building Henry helped you investing without wasting much time and resources.
